CommHIT24: Forging Formidable Resilience

To further expand Florida's economy and tourism, businesses and residents need a competitive edge. The Nation is dealing with economic uncertainties and significant societal and global changes. Florida is no different.

For this reason, CommHIT, a non-profit at the Kennedy Space Center, is hosting Kathy Ireland to impart valuable and surprising insights on corporate resilience. Kathy will be the Keynote speaker for the event called CommHIT24 “Forging Formidable Resilience.” 

Kathy Ireland, one of the most recognizable supermodels, built the most valuable woman-owned licensing company in American history, according to WWD. Her multi-billion-dollar company, Kathy Ireland Worldwide (kiWW), is ranked as one of the most powerful brands in the world by License Global magazine, Forbes, ABC, CBS, NBC, and other media outlets.

The capacity of a business to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and adapt to incremental changes and sudden disruptions is crucial for long-term prosperity. The day will be a collection of information that can enhance your business's resilience and growth. You are invited.

The event takes place from 9am-5pm on October 17 at the Astronauts Memorial Foundation building in the Kennedy Space Center. It will explore resilience through multiple lenses and with powerful speakers—often in unexpected ways—to give your business an advantage in the marketplace. 

Co-hosts are CareerSource Brevard Flagler Volusia, the Florida Department of Education, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, the Astronauts Memorial Foundation, and Kids in Positive Places.

At CommHIT24, CommHIT and its co-hosts are dedicated to sharing what businesses and individuals need to know to recover, stabilize, and continue with purpose and mission when they face volatility, adversity, struggles, or disasters.

Attendees will include leadership from all business sectors critical to the space, aerospace, transportation, health, technology, education, manufacturing, construction, and government industries—this includes you.

Don’t miss this event where the audience will get to interact with Kathy and dig deep into corporate and other forms of resilience needed to navigate the uncertainty we face in our economy and world today.
